The Health Consequences of SMOKING A PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE REVIEW : 1967 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE i,`. -, ' Public Health Service Public Health Service Publication No. 1696 For sale by the 6uperluten~t of Dommsl t+3, us. oo- t RintiIlE omce we&bgton, D.C. 204W - Wee 60 -ta The Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1965 (Pub- lic Law 89-92) requires that the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare submit regular reports to the Congress on the health conse- quences of smoking, together with any legislative recommendations he may wish to make. This 1967 Surgeon General's Report was pr&tred to provide the Secretary and the public with a review of the research findings which have taken place in smoking and health in the approximately 3% years which have elapsed since the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee issued its monumental 1964 report. Part I of this document was in- cluded as part of the Secretary's 1967 Report which he sent to Congress in July 196'7. Part II, which provides detailed discussions of the re- lationship of smoking to specific diseases, is issued here for the first time. The 1967 report represents a review of more than 2,000 research studies published since the 1964 report. These additional studies con- firm and strengthen the conclusion of the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee that: "Cigtlrette smoking is a health hazard of sutllcient importance in the United States to warrant appropriate remedial action." In a separate section of this report, acknowledgments have been made for the help of numerous scientists both within and outside the Public Health Service, who participated in the preparation of this report. These include the 10 distinguished scientists who made up the Surgeon General's 1964 Advisory Committee, all of whom were kind enough to review part I of the 1967 report before its publication. A special word of thanks is due Leonard M. Schuman, M.D., one of the 1964 committee members, who advised the staff in the final editing of the entire document. SURGEON GENERAL.

However, as shown in table 5, the mortality differentials between smokers and nonsmokers are much larger at the younger ages.

Souacr: Data in above table based on valups from Study of British l'by&Jans. Table 8 (27J. The mortality ratios shown for Group 3 deaths, i.e., CHD deaths accompanied by some other complicating disease, suggest that, for all age groups combined, smokers do not have any special risk to this type of coronary death. However, smokers below the age of 65 appear to be at a somewhat greater risk, while no consistent differen- tials are observed among persons in the older age groups. In summary, the study substantiates other mortality studies' find- ings that CHD mortality ratios (current cigarette smokers vs. non- smokers) increase with the number of cigarettes smoked daily, that the ratios are highest in the age group 45-54, and that they decrease as age advances. Moreover, smoking apparently is assooiated with deaths from coronary heart disease among persons free of other serious disease states. In a prospective study of California longshoremen, Borhani (17) reported on the mortality experience of more than 3,700 men observed for 10 years. Table 6, derived from his data, provides some additional insights on both the independent and the inter&ion effects of ciga- rette smoking. Men 45-64 years of age who were heavy smokers experienced higher death rates from coronary heart disease than did nonsmokers independ- ent of whether they were hypertensive or nonhypertensive. 52 TABLE 6.-Mortulitg ratio from corvnury h&W disea&?e amo?zg m&e hypertensives and nonhypertensives by smoking history and age Age group Blood ptpssarestatns 1 NOll- r -v smokus~ Emokus' -- 45 to ,rx,- _ ___ _ ____- Nonhypertenaive ______________ LO 2.2 Hypertensive, _ _ _ _ ___ ---i ____ _ 2.5 9. 6 55 to 64 ____________- Nonhypertensive -___-___------ LO 5.8 Hypertensive, _ _ _______ __ _____ 5.9 9. 4 1 Hyp&?l,S,V~ are de&& B(J tboSe b8m E$`StOlk blood m of MD mm. as.

(II). ,.n analysis was made by Schor (80) of 181 adult males who died from coronary heart disease generally less than 2 years after receiving ;I periodic health examination. The results of this study and those of Doll and Hill suggest that sudden death from previously undetected coronary heart disease frequently occurs among cigarette smokers. If tIlis is true, it may, in part, account for the small differentials in the prevalence of coronary heart disease between smokers and nonsmokers observed in some morbidity prevalence surveys. As will be described in the following section, longitudinal, prospective morbidity studies nlso show that smokers are more likely to die from sudden attacks of coronary heart disease. CORONARY I&ART DISEASE MORBIDFIT* In chapter 11 of the 1964 Surgeon General's Report, several prospec- tive studies on the incidence of coronary heart disease (!34,31,78,88) established that smokers were subject to higher rates than nonsmokers. The relationship was reported to be more marked under 60 years of age than among older persons and appeared to be associated with myocardial infarction but not with angina pectoris. Since the 1964 report, recent findings from large-scale, on-going prospective studies have been reported, providing additional insight on the interaction between smoking and other important coronary heart disease risk fac- tors. Current tidings are summarized in the following pages includ- ing tables 7 to 13. Whenever possible, data are shown separately for findings related to angina pectoris and those pertaining to myocardial infarction, including sudden death attributed to coronary heart dis- ease. Higgins (60) has drawn attention to the fact that "many factors lnay influence or be affected by smoking habits, and obscure those differences between smokers and nonsmokers which are directly re- lated to the use of tobacco." In her review of the literature, Higgins identified differences between smokers and nonsmokers in genetically o 8lrso may include mortality data in this presentation. determined qualities (M), in physique (77,98), in pemonality (87, 47, @, 65, 68, 69), and in social, cultural, religious, and economic characteristics ($6, &,68,84). Age The elect of age on the incidence of coronary heart disease with regard to cigarette smoking is shown in table `7 based on recent data from the Framingham Study as yet unpublished.

Pnblk He&h Semke~, Fiamhgbam study (es). (Updnted 1967) When the incidence rate of coronary heart diseaseOamong male non- smokers.between 35-44 yeers of age is compared with that among older nonsmokers, the rate is seen to triple every 10 years. This marked increase in incidence among nonsmokers reflects the effect of other important risk factors and perhaps accounts for the decrease in mor- bidity ratio as age advances. The independent effect of smoking on the incidence of coronary heart disease is believed to be more appro- priately represented by the excess morbidity rates, which increase from 2.7 per 1,000 smokers in the age group 35-44 to 9.2 per 1,000 smokers 55-64 years of age. &$b &!OOd ht?88WW? Although the inhalation of cigarette smoke is frequently accom- panied by acute transient elevations in blood pressure, habitual smok- ers tend to have lower blood pressures than do nonsmokers (48). But, given the presence of high blood pressure in an individual, smoking acts as an additional risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease (l7,$?8, m, 90,53,55,95, 96). Both the independent and the combined effect of cigarette smoking is clearly shown in table 8 de- rived from the experience of the Framingham and Albany studies (W* 54 TABLE 8.-Ageadjualed morbidity ratios for coronary heart disease among smokers and nonsmokers according to level of systolic blood pressure Systolic blood p- Noos"p;z of "2ZJC - --- Under 130mm.Hg___--__------___-___--__--_-- 1.0 2. 1 130 mm.

Dietary influences as well as en- dogenous production and elimination of cholesterol must be evaluated in greater detail with simultaneous analysis of the roles of other risk factors, including smoking. One study of a small population of twins in Sweden, as reported by Lundman (67)) suggests that smoking monozygotic twins tend to have lower cholesterol levels than their nonsmoking control twins, although the differences are not statistically significant. Other studies suggest that smokers generally have higher serum cholesterol than nonsmokers (13, 37, 88). However, given the presence of high serum cholesterol, smoking increases the risk of cor- onary heart disease (96,96'). The independent any synergistic effect of cigarette smoking is dem- onstrated by the data in table 9 derived from the combined experience of the Framingham and Albany studies (30).

Puzmonar/y Fzunction The acute effects of cigarette smoking upon pulmonary function are expressed mainly through increase in airway resistance. The dif- ferences in pulmonary function between smokers and nonsmokers ap- pear to be greater than can be accounted for by acute effects from a recently smoked cigaretta (50,91). The relationship of coronary heart disease to lowered pulmonary function as reflected by low vital capacity and cigarette smoking is observed in the data published by the Na- z7&SQ4 o-67--5 55 UUU~~ msmutes oi Health based on the 12-year experience in Framing- ham (96). Morbidity ratios derived from this publication are shown in table 10.

(6W). Here again, the independent and combined effects of cigarette smok- ing are observed. Physical znaotivity A physically inactive or sedentary individusl seems to run a higher risk of developing coronary heart disesse (89, .&I, 0,76). Spain (88) reported that, in his prospective study of 3,000 men "* * * the rela- tionship of occupational physical activity to smoking habits revealed that one of six sedentary workers were heavy smokers and one of five strenuous workers were heavy smokers." Weinblatt, in reporting the experience of the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (100) also found that a higher proportion (41.9 versus 36.0 percent) of cig- arette smokers were classified in the "most active" physical activity category. The independent and the combined effects between cigarette smok- ing and physical activity are shown in table 11. The morbidity ratios for myocardial infarctions are derived from published data.

(fOrI). Socioenvironmenta.2 Stress Since 1955, research on socioenvironmental stress in relation to cor- onary heart disease has increased greatly (#, 99). Among the factors studied that indicate a strong association with coronary heart disease incidence and prevalence is sociocultural mobility, that is, moving from one social setting to another. The interaction of this factor and 56 cigarette smoking has been reported by Syme (90,91) in both an ur- ban and rural setting. Apparently in both areas cigarette smokers \vere more culturally mobile than nonsmokers. The independent effect of cigarette smoking on the incidence of coronary heart disease is shown in the morbidity ratios in table 12 derived from the North Dakota study (91).

(81) Personality Type Various investigators have long `suspected a possible pathogenetic role of the central nervous system in coronary heart disease (35). In a series of reports, Rosenman (82,8@ and Jenkins (51) have described a personality pattern or overt emotional complex which, while asso- ciated wit.h other known risk factors, appears to predict coronary heart disease more effectively than do other risk factors. This emotional com- plex, `&which they have termed Behavior Pattern Type A, is composed of an enhanced competitiveness, drive, aggressiveness and hostility, nud an excessive sense of time urgency." Recent unpublished data based upon prospective observation of more than 3,000 men for a 4+`&-year period (51) discloses that smokers have a higher percentage (54 versus 4'7 percent) of type A persons among them. Moreover, the incidence of coronary heart disease is shown to be related independently to both smoking status and personality type. Morbidity ratios, derived from the incidence data, are shown in table 13 which clearly demonstrates the independent effects of cigarette smoking and its interaction with personality characteristics. TABLE 13.-Morbidity ratios of cigarette smokers as compared to non.- smokers by personality type SOUBCE: Unpublished data from We&em Collaborative Group Study, San kandseo, C&if. (eb). Mdtiple-R&k Factor8 The method of analysis traditionally employed by epidemiologists, that of the comparison of rates for. multiple cross-classifications of the data, generally requires a large study population at relatively high incidence of significant events. Since coronary heart disease incidence rates are low and study populations are necessarily small because of practical and practicable limitations, definitive analysis of the inde- pendence and interaction between risk factors have generally been re- stricted to two factors at a time. Truett (96) applied a multiple logistic function proposed by Cornfield to investigate the independent effect on the incidence of coronary heart disease of seven risk factors: Age, serum cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, relative weight, hemoglobin, cigarettes per day, and ECG abnormalities. The method was used in the analysis of data compiled in the Framingham study during a 12-year period. A discriminant function coefficient was computed for each risk factor. These-coefficients represent the relative importance of each fac- tor with respect. to the other six factors in the development of coronary heart disease. While theoretical considerations underlying the logistic risk function are not fully satisfied by the actual data, the approxima- tion given by the function to observed rates is very good. Consequently, Truett and Cornfield believe that the present compu- tations permit the conclusion that "the most important risk factors, aside from age itself, are cholesterol, cigarette smoking, ECG abnor- mality, and blood pressure" (96). MIANIFE~TATION OF CORONARY HIURT DIEIEASE Coronary heart disease is essentially comprised of three major mani- festations or subcategories : 1. Fatal myocardial infarctions, including sudden deaths attrib- uted to coronary heart disease ; 2. Nonfatal myocardial infarction; and 3. Angina pectoris. Generally, investigators in their analysis of the relationship of risk factors to the incidence of coronary heart disease have not subdivided the observed coronary events into the three major subcategories pri- marily because the paucity of events in each category did not permit definitive conclusions on any differences observed. However, the pool- ing of data from some of the larger prospective studies holds promise of a more complete analysis of the independent and synergistic effects of each risk factor on each of the subcategories of coronary disease. Findings from these analyses might provide some insights into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms t.hrough which a risk factor operates. The pooled data from the Albany and Framingham studies a.nd data from the HIP study include the observed associations of 58 cigarette smoking with each of the three major manifestations. Mor- bidity ratios have been derived from these studies and are presented in table 14.

VII- &dished Data from Health Innuance Plan Study (loo). The association of cigarette smoking to angina pectoris is not a con- sistent one. A clear-cut association was found in the Health Insurance Plan Study (ratio of 1.7) ; a similar association is also found in un- published data from Framingham considered separately. However, no association between cigarette smoking and the incidence of angina pectoris was found in the Albany experience. Cederlof (19)) in his analysis of prevalence data on angina pectoris obtained by question- naire, found no statistically significant difference in prevalence rates between 453 monozygotic twin pairs with dissimilar smoking habits. In a larger study of about 9,000 persons from the twin register where genetic factors were uncontrolled, Cederlof (19, m) did find a sig- nificantly higher prevalence of angina pectoris among smokers than nonsmokers, particularly in men (ratio of 1.6) (fl) . Friedman (&!) and Epstein (96) have clearly described the in- herent biases in prevalence studies which may lead to findings of risk gradients that are different from those obtained in prospective inci- dence studies. One of these limitations is that fatal cases are under- represented in a prevalence survey. Thus, since it appears that cigar- ette smoking is more closely related to the incidence of fatal myocar- dial infarctions than to other forms of coronary heart disease, it is ex- pected that morbidity ratios derived from prevalence surveys would be lower than those computed from incidence data. With these restrictions in mind, Russek (83) in a survey of 12,000 men in 14 occupational groups found that the morbidity ratio of coronary heart disease preva- lence among cigarette smokers was as high as 1.8. In contrast, in a study of 77 identical and 89 fraternal twins in Sweden, comparing smokers with their respective nonsmoking twins, Lundman (67) reported no excess prevalence of overt or silent coronary heart disease. However, the prevalence of these conditions, as Lundman concluded, "was too low to permit of definitive conclusions." ~ARDI~~A~~~LAR RJWPONSE. m SIKOKING AND/OR NIOOT~VE As noted in the Surgeon General's 1964 Report, nicotine has definite physiologic effects on the cardiovascular system of experimental ani- mals and of man. These include increases in heart rate, systemic arte- rial pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, and velocity of myocardial contraction, all resulting in an increased myocardial tissue oxygen demand (16). Coronary blood flow studies will be reported in the next section under a separate subheading. These effects parallel those ob- served with catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) . The effects can be blocked by the injection of tetraethylammonium chloride and markedly reduced by adrenalectomy (28). Nicotine has been re- peatedly shown to release endogenous catecholamines (67,68,69, M, Y&Z?). However, the mechanism by which nicotine affects the cardio- vascular system is more complex than the release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla. Direct and indirect (via the carotid body and other chemoreceptors) stimulation of the vasomotor center, stimu- lation of sympathetic ganglia, release of norepinephrine from local stores, and release of antidiuretic hormone are included among other postulated mechanisms of action involved in nicotine's effect on the cardiovascular system (IS, &`,85). Coronary Blood Fho in Nod Subjects The action of smoking and/or nicotine on the coronary blood flow of normal human subjects has not yetbeen definitively established, but apparently normal subjects can increase their coronary blood flows sufhciently to maintain a compensatory blood supply to the myocar- dium despite the increased myocardial tissue demand for oxygen caused by cigarette smoking. Earlier findings of increased coronary blood flow in normal men, in response to cigarette smoking (11)) were not reproduced in a more recent study (16). In this latter study, al- though a trend towards a slight increase in coronary blood flow was observed in the particular normal persons studied, it was not significant. Direct injection of nicotine into the left coronary artery of dogs in- der conditions of constant flow rate resulted in increased coronary VW+ cular resistance (38,S4). This response could be reduced by vagal nerve stimulation or prior adminstration of acetylcholine; an immediate in- crease in cardiac contractile force was also observed that could be similarly reduced. It was concluded that these responses to nicotine resulted from sympathetic nervous system activity or from the release of catecholamines by myocardial chromaffin tissue (64). Blood from the smoke-exposed lung tissue of dogs, directly perfused 60 into the coronary artery, failed to increase coronary resistance (38). This effect was thought to be secondary to that of histamine, known to act as a coronary vasodilator, which apparently is released from the lung tissue of dogs during their exposure to smoke (8). Inen blood from the smoke-exposed lung was perfused through the systemic circulation of dogs while the coronaries were being perfused with non-smoke-exposed blood, the typical release of cate- cholamines occurred with many of the usual effects on cardiovascular parameters except that the coronary vascular resistance increased under these experimental conditions, apparently due to the increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system (98). Since it is well kuown that exposing dogs to cigarette smoke without isolating and separately perfusing the coronary circulation normally results in an increase of the coronary blood flow (38)) the manipulation of experimental conditions as described suggests that there is a masking effect by the catecholamines on nicotine's direct action on the coronary circulation (38). These studies may relate, by analogy, to humans and indicate that smoking, in "normal" individuals, may produce at least two actions that can affect coronary blood flow : (1) a decrease in coronary blood flow by a possible direct action of nicotine on the coronary circulation (demonstrated in dogs), and (2) an increase in coronary blood flow as the usual resultant of varying responses to the intermediating action of catecholamines and other physiologic processes (demonstrated in both animals and humans). Cormmy Blood Pkm in Subjects with Coronay Heart Disease The effect of cigarette smoking on coronary blood flow was studied in patients with coronary heart, disease (79). As was seen in normal subjects, significant increases in heart rate,' arterial pressure, and cardiac output were noted. In contrast to the normal individuals studied, patients with coronary heart disease distinctly showed a much less significant compensatory increase in their coronary blood flows. These results were confirmed by a later study (16)) using the Rubidium 84 method I., REBCH, J. A. Cerebral thromboembolism. A clinical appraisal of 100 cases.

The reader is referred to the Surgeon General's 1964 Report (68) and recent textbooks for background information on the chemistry of tobacco smoke, the metabolism and toxicity of specific components of tobacco smoke, the physics of its retention in the air passages and the lungs, and the mechanics of pulmonary function. DBFINITIONS The scope of this chapter will be limited to emphysema and chronic bronchitis and it may be useful to present definitions of both terms. There have been many definitions of chronic bronchitis and emphy- sema. Those used in *he Surgeon General's 1964 Report had been pro- posed by the American Thoracic Society in 1962 (37). With the in- creasing public health interest in chronic bronchopulmonary disease, attempts have been made to develop precise definitions to ca.tegorize these diseases and to isolate them satisfactorily from other pulmonary conditions. ,4 task force sponsored by the Chronic Respiratory Dis- eases Control Program of the Public Health `Service and the National Tuberculosis Association deliberated this together with related prob- lems for a week in October 1966. They adopted the following definitions (71) : "Chronic bronchitis is a clinical disorder characterized by excessive mucous secretion in the bronchial tree. It is manifested by chronic or recurrent productive cough. The diagnosis of chronic bronchitis can be made only if other bronchopulmonary or cardiac disorders are ex- cluded a~ the cause for t.hese symptoms. The predominant pathologic cllange is hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the mucous secreting glands in the trachea and bronchi. Pulmonary emphysema is an anatomic alteration of the lung characterized by destruction of alveolar walls a;ccompanied by abnor- mal enlargement of the air spaces distal to t.he terminal, nonrespira- tory bronchiole." These definitions will be used to describe chronic bronchitis and emphysema as understood in the present report. They are being used 89 to emphasize the lack of progress in defining the two conditions for purposes of differentiating them from other diseases of the lung. I&,& erence may be made to the Surgeon General's 1964 Report where near- ly identical definitions will be found. SInability to distinguish between chronic bronchitis and emphym has hampered medical research and exchange of information. The P.H.S.-N.T.A. task force report states further : "Although patients having only chronic bronchitis tend to have more cqugh and sputum than do those having only pulmonary emphy- sema, the array of symptoms, physical findings, and pulmonary physiologic abnormalities are similar in ,both diseases. "Chronic bronchitis and emphysema coexist in many patients * * $9' This statement may help to explain some of the di&ulties encoun- tered by research workers in studying these diseases and why the re- searchers are limited to describing symptoms and signs observed in &e populations under investigation. It may also explain why it is di.& cult to distinguish these conditions in the present report which seeks to record the research findings related to smoking and chronic respira- tory disease published since the Surgeon General's 1964 Report. Re- search findings on both diseases are not considered separately in this report but are grouped in population studies, pathology studies, and animal experiments. Additional considerations pertinent to pul- monary emphysema nre then provided. CHRONIC BRONCHOPULMONARY DISEASE MORTALITY l Mortality from chronic bronchopulmonary diseases has continued the upward trend well established at the time of publication of the conclusions cited in the Surgeon General's 1964 Report. Deaths in the United St,ates from emphysema or chronic bronchitis or both have risen steadily from about 3,000 in 1950 to more than 20,000 in 1964, as can be seen in table 1.

' AlI death rates throughout this chapter are per 100,000 population, unless otherwise indicated. 90 The increase and aging of the population during the same period does not account for this rise. Age-adjusted mortality rates for emphy- sema without mention of chronic bronchitis increased about ten times for men, from 1.3 per 100,000 in $950 to 12.6 in 1964. A similar, al- though perhaps somewhat less drama.tic, increase occurred among 1vomen, from 0.2 per 100,000 in 1950 to 1.6 in 1964. Death rates from chronic bronchitis rose less precipitously, doubling during the same period (69,70). How much of this increase is the result of improved diagnosis of these diseases and how much the result of a true change in mortality patterns cannot be determined at the present time. Asso- ciations have been demonstrated between these conditions and smoking. POPULAlTON 6TDolES Included in this broad category are investigations that collected information from ma group or groups of persons either by a series of questions, by some form of physical examination, or by a review of recorded data such as hospital records and death certificates. PRosPzcTrvz STuDIzs In the Surgeon General's 1964 Report, Endings from seven prospec- tive studies were presented. Additional data have .been reported from four of these investigations in the past 3 years. Information relevant to smoking and chronic respiratory disease will be summarized here. The study of mortality among policyholders of U.S. Government Life Insurance policies available to persons who served in the Armed Forces between 1917 and 1940 was initiated in 1952. Almost all the 293,658 policyholders were white males. Recently Kahn (&) pub- lished a report that included all deaths from July 1954 through De- cember 1962, a period of S+$ years. The relation of cigarette smoking to death from bronchitis and emphysema is presented by mortality ratios in table 2 and by specific risk of mortality in table 2A. Given the definitions previously cited, t.hese tables also illustrate the difficulties in separating these diseases. The first row of table 2 gives combined mortality ratios and the next two rows give the same data in an attempt to delineate the specific dis- eases. Mortality ratios are given by the number of cigarettes smoked per day at the time the men were enrolled in the study. Mortality from these diseases is much higher among cigarette smokers than among those who never smoked and rises with the number of ciga- rettes smoked daily. The ratios are much higher for emphysema alone than for chronic bronchitis with or without mention of emphysema. A similar study of veterans was begun in Canada in 1955. Answered questionnaires were returned by nearly 78,000 men whose subsequent mortality for a period of 6 years was recently analyzed by Best and 91 his associates (I$). Deaths from chronic bronchitis and emphysema have been summarized in table 3 which gives mortality ratios by the number of cigarettes smoked each day. Here, again, the mortality is much higher among smokers .and is directly related to the number of cigarettes smoked. The mortality ratios reported for both diseases combined are similar to those reported for the U.S. Veterans study.

When ,the two diseases are separated, the ratios for emphysema in the Canadian study are similar to those for chronic bronchitis in the U.S. study, and the ratios for chronic bronchitis are similar to those attributed to emphysema in the United States. This illustrates the 92 problems of definition and one of the difhculties of direct comparison between studies, especially dPhen different countries are involved.

SOURCE: Canedi81l &IlSiOnerS study (fa). A study among British physicians, the first of the large prospective studies, was started in 1951 with the sending of a short questionnaire to the 59,600 registered physicians then resident in the United King- dom. Usable replies were received from 34,455 men and 6,192 women. Ten years of observation of mortality in relation to smoking was recently reported for this population by Doll and Hill (99,30). Their findings on mortality from chronic bronchitis as related to smoking included emphysema and are given in table 4. Only the standardized death rates were presented in the report but the mortality ratios have been calcul.ated from them to offer an easier comparison with the other two studies. Again, it is clear that mortality from these combined diseases (no attempt was made to differentiate them in the published report) is strongly and directly related to the amount of cigarette smoking.

More i&r 1 million men and women living in 25 States were enrolled in t& investigation in late 1959 and early 1960. A report of the fist 4 yam of observation was published recently by Hammond (36) and mar- tahty from emphysema and chronic bronchitis as related to smoking is given in table 5. A slight departure from the usual assignment of cause of death should be mentioned. When the cause of d&h was listed as chronic bronchitis with emphysema, it was oombined with emphy. sema alone. For this reason, the cause of death in table 5 is not quite the same as any of the causes listed in the other tables. Again, it is clear that mortality from these entities is related to smoking for both men and women. This was the only one of the four studies with enough women enrolled to provide meanlingful data.

' CaiCtllated ifom (ss). SOUBCE: Hammond. E. C. (ss). Before summarizing the data presented from these four investiga- tions, two further points should be made. Excessive mortality was largely confmed to cigarette smokers. The mortality ratio for chronic bronchitis and emphysema, for pipe and cigar smokers combined, in the U.S. veterans study, was only 0.99; in the Canadian study it was about 1.6 (based on only nine deaths) ; in the study of men from 25 States it was 1.37; and among British doctors the standardized d&h rate was 15 (compared with five among nonsmokers). Whatever may be the relationship of p!ipe and cigar smoking to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, it is clear that it is substantially less important than the relationship of cigarette smoking. In two of these studies, stopping cigarette smoking is seen to have an effect on subsequent mortafity from chronic bronchitis and emphy- sema. In the course of the followup of the British physicians (39, 30) it was possible to estimate the number of years a man con- tinued smoking after he had answered the initial questionnaire. For chronic bronchitis the mortaltty rates at first increased after cessation of smoking and later fell well below the rate for men who contirmed to smoke. The death rate from chronic bronchitis, per 100,~ 04 ex-smokers of 5 years or more was 37 compared with a rate of 59 for sll other smokers. Similarly, in the study of U.S. veterans, the mor- tality ratio for chronic bronchitis and emphysema was 10.1 for all male current digarette smokers but only 7.6 for men who had stopped smoking for reasons other than "Doctor's orders." Wicken (76) made a study of lung cancer and bronchitis mortality in Northern Ireland. During the 3 years, 1960-62, a total of 1,262 men and 630 women, aged 35 years or more, were certified as having died of bronchitis. For each of tihese persons a control was selected-the uest person in the Register of the same sex and &year age group who last resided in the same area and who died of a nonrespiratory ilhmas. Personal interviews with relatives of the decedents were carried out for about 94 percent of the subjects and controls to determine the decedents' smoking habits. In addition, a random sample of about 1,500 households in Northern Ireland was selected and one member of each household was interviewed to obtain detiils of the age, sex, smok- ing habits, and other information on all adult members. This informa- tion on all adult members was used to define the adult pop&&ion of Northern Ireland in order to calculate death rates. Bronchitis mortality for both men and women was associated with smoking and directly related to the number of cigarettes smoked daily, as seen in table 6.

SOURCE: Wick'en study (75). Using these data, Wicken applied the bronchitis death rates observed among male non-smokers to all the male population of Northern Ire- land and estimated that had these rates prevailed, only 45 percent of the male deaths from bronchitis would have occurred. Recent data from the four prospective studies and the one retrospec- tive study all reveal, for men, an association between cigarette smok- 95 ing and mortality from bronchitis and emphysema. All report an increasing gradient of mortality with an increasing amount smoked. This was also true among women although only one prospective study and the retrospective study included enough women to permit calcula- tion of death rates. Mortality was consistently higher among cigarette smokers than among men who smoked pipes or cigars. These are consistent associations that might be expected if there were a causal relation between cigarette smoking and these diseases. In addition, if such a relationship exists, cessation of smoking should be followed by a reduction in mortality. This did occur in the two studies that in- cluded information on changes in smoking habits. These data, then, strongly support the conclusion that cigarette smoking is at least one of the causes of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. CHRONIC BRONCHOPlJLlMONARY DISEASE MORBIDITY STUDIES RELATING SIEOIUNQ TO RESPIRATORY ~+ZMPTOM:~ Most surveys of chronic respiratory disease are confined to the fre- quency of signs or symptoms of disease. The National Center for Health Statistics, however, in interviews from July 1964 to June 1965, asked about certain chronic conditions including chronic bronchitis and emphysema (76). This was asked in a national sample of 42,966 households containing about 134,060 persons. After answering ques- tions about health for himself and other members of the household, the respondent was asked questions about their smoking habits. A strong relationship was found between smoking habits and the presence of chronic bronchitis or emphysema or both. This is presented in table 7.

EL 96 In another study of the epidemiology of persistent cough, Wynder (80) and his associates evaluated the smoking habits, occupation, and residence (urban or rural) in a male population comprised of 315 hospital patients in New York, and 315 in California, and of 239 Seventh-Day Adventists living in California who were not hospital patients. Persistent cough was reported from 23 percent of the Ad- l*entists (who do not smoke), 45 percent of the New York patients, and 53 percent of the California patients. Coughing was more fre- quently reported by cigarette smokers than by those who smoked pipes or cigars, as shown in table 8. Inhalers also had a higher rate of persistent cough and the rate of cough increased with smoking in each age group. Wynder found no correlation between urban or rural resi- dence and persistent cough. Analysis of the California group showed a higher rata of persistent cough that was independent of the number of cigarettes smoked.

L. et al. (so). Deane and her associates (28) studied symptoms in relation to smok- ing in a group of about 500 outside telephone workers over age 40 working in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. Symptoms were reported on a modified version of the British Medical Research Council questionnaire. Regardless of the definition of the respiratory symp- tom-persistent cough and phlegm, persistent cough, phlegm, and shortness of breath-it was consistently experienced by a greater pro- portion of those who currently smoked cigarettes than those who did not. Co&es and his coworkers (@) also found among 1,584 postal work- ers aged 40 or more (all employees of the Detroit Main Post Office), that for every symptom-cough and phlegm, chronic phlegm alone, wheezing, shortness of breath-the prevalence was two to three times greater among moderate (15-24 cigarettes per day) and heavy (25 or more) smokers t.han among those who did not smoke. These differences in symptom prevalence were observed for both men and women but "chronic bronchitis" was reported more often by men, which Coates ascribes to their being heavier smokers. The prevalence of chronic cough and phlegm among ex-smokers was no greater than in nonsmokers. Very few studies have been carried out to estimate the association of morbidity and smoking in young people. Peters and Ferris (60) retro. spectively tallied the number of visits to the clinic at the University of Health Services for 1,623 Harvard students and 404 Radcliffe stu- dents. Smoking information had been gathered on these students in their freshman and senior years. Smokers made significantly more visits to the clinic in total and for respiratory diseases in particular. There was a positive correlation between years smoked and the num- ber of respiratory disease visits. 111 contrast to most studies which select population groups, H&i (&?) studied virtually the entire population, age 40-64, in a immune in western Finland. Although it was a mostly rural population, some industrial workers were included. More than 95 percent of the men and women invited responded to the survey. Questionnaires (based on that of the British Medical Research Council) and medical examina- tions were completed for 730 men and 890 women. Only 18.7 percent of the men were nonsmokers and 21.6 percent ex-smokers, compared with 86.1 percent nonsmokers and 3.6 percent es-smokers among women. Prevalence of both cough and phlegm production was signif% cantly higher among smokers than nonsmokers as seen in tible 9.

(4.3). In all the prevalence studies that have been identified and reviewed, significantly more cigarette smokers consistently reported having symptoms related to chronic respiratory disease. This was true for cough, production of phlegm, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It 98 was also true when the respondents were asked not about symptoms hut about disease, that is, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and in one instance was reflected in the number of clinic visits for respiratory diseases. Prevalence of these symptoms increased with the amount of (*igarettes smoked. It was less among pipe and cigar smokers, and ex- cigarette smokers among whom the prevalence, in some reports, ap- proached that of nonsmokers. STDDIES RELATING SMOKING TO PULMONARY FUNCXION Many of the surveys outlined in the previous section on respiratory symptoms also included lung function tests as part of the examination, Huhti (43)) for example, in his Finnish study took chest X-rays and collected information on vital capacity, l-second forced expiratory volume ( FEV,.o) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) as shown in table 10.

SOURCE: Huhti, E. (@). Among men the FEV,, value was lower for smokers than nonsmok- ers. The PEF value was slightly lower, but the vital capacity was un- related to smoking. In this study none of the values seemed to be clear- ly related to the number of cigarettes smoked. *4mong the relatively small number of female smokers in this study, most of whom smoked between one and 14 cigarettes per day, almost all the lung function values were better than in the female nonsmokers. Female smokers were slightly taller in height and slightly lighter in weight than fe- male nonsmokers, which may account for this finding. However, fe- male ex-smokers had slightly reduced FEVl.o and PEF when compared 99 with female nonsmokers, similar to the relationship noted between male ex-smokers and male nonsmokers. Coates (90) observed no relation between smoking habits and vital capacity or FEV1., He did find, however, that the ratio of FEV& VC was significantly lower among heavy smokers (25 or more ciga- rettes per day) than nonsmokers. This was found for all but the old- est group of workers, but here the number of subjects was small. Peters and Ferris (69) asked 133 Harvard College seniors to com- plete a questionnaire on respiratory symptoms and to perform some sample tests of pulmonary functions. Of these, 124 responded. Wha classified by smoking history, the smokers were found to record more frequent cough, phlegm production, breathlessness, and wheezing with or apart from colds. There was no difference in vital capacity be- tween smokers and nonsmokers. Although the forced expiratory vol- ume in 1 second (FEV1.o) was less for heavy smokers than nonsmok- ers, this was not significant by itself. As a ratio of vital capacity this did show a significant decrease. The air flow rate using the Wright peak-flow meter and other flow rates determined from tracings of the Stead-Wells spirometer' (FRla%, FR,%, FRZa%, FRlo%) did show statistically significant reductions in heavy smokers as compared to nonsmokers. These data show that relatively young cigarette smokers have some impairments of ventilatory function, in turn suggesting the possibility of a rather immediate effect of cigarette smoking on respiratory symptoms and ventilatory ,function. A series of experiments has been done by Krumholz and his asso- ciates (49, 50, 61) to evaluate cardiopulmonary function in young apparently healthy persons. The first experiment (~$9) involved 18 house staff physicians ranging in age from 24 to 37 years. Nine had smoked at least one pack of cigarettes a day for the preceding 5 years and nine had not smoked for at least the same time period. Extensive pulmonary function studies were done at rest and after exercise. The smokers were found to have a greater oxygen debt after exercise, de- creased diffusing capacity at rest and with exercise, and decreased total lung capacity and vital capacity. In the second Krumholz experiment (50) 10 young staff physicians, all of whom had smoked at least one pack a day for 5 years, were given pulmonary function tests immediately after and again 3 weeks after abstinence from smoking. Six physicians refrained from smoking for G weeks and were tested again. After 6 weeks of no smoking, expira- tory peak flow and pulmonary diffusing capacity were significantly increased. Heart rate and oxygen debt after exercise were decreased. After 6 weeks functional residual capacity was decreased and inspira- tory reserve volume and maximal voluntary ventilation were increased. 100 The final study (51) ag ain used 20 young medical persons divided alnong 10 smokers and 10 nonsmokers. The mean pulmonary com- pliance was significantly greater for the nonsmokers than for the smokers. Since cigarette smokers have a chronically elevated carboxy- hemoglobin level, usually greater than 2 percent and occasionally exceeding 10 percent, a study (19) was performed ha.ving nonsmokers inhale enough carbon monoxide to raise their carboxyhemoglobin levels to the range seen in a control group of cigarette smokers. This lnaneuver caused the development, in the study group of nonsmokers, of an increased oxygen debt with exercise and a reduced pulmonary diffusing capacity at rest. These changes after carbon monoxide in- halat.ion were similar to those found without carbon monoxide in- halst,ion when comparing cigarette smokers to nonsmokers. (Further data concerning smoking and carbon monoxide is presented and dis- cussed in the chapter on cardiovascular diseases in this report.) Findings from various studies relating smoking to pulmonary func- tion are less consistent for certain criteria of measurement than from t,hose relating smoking to respiratory symptoms. They are, however, consistent in that they all report some form of diminished pulmonary function among cigarette smokers, even when relatively young smokers were studied. This is true of the studies outlined here as well as others that have not been included (18, @, 56,58,81). The usual measure- ment found to be lower among smokers is the l-second forced expira- tory volume (FEV l.O) either alone or as a ratio of the vital capacity (FEVJVC). Vital capacity alone was generally not found to be associated with smoking but diminished flow rates, such as FR,a, FRso and the peak expiratory flow (PEF), were often observed. In these studies, distinct quantitative ,relationships were not observed between impairment of pulmonary function and the number of cigarettes smoked daily. RELATION OF SMOKING TO HEREDITY OR TO CON- STITUTIONAL FACTORS Although various surveys and studies consistently show an associa- tion between smoking and respiratory symptoms and mortality from respiratory disease, there have been objections to interpreting this relation as causal. Arguments have been made that smokers and non- smokers may differ in some respects, perhaps biological, that are relevant to the occurrence of disease. Others have suggested that pre- 101 dispositions to smoking and respiratory disease may have a common genetic basis. One method of trying to estimate the importance of heredity and constitutional factors is to study the effect of tobacco smoking among pairs of twins, particularly identical (monozygotic) twins. If, when one twin in each pair of monozygotic and dizygotic twins is a smoker and the other is not, an excess morbidity does not appear among the smoking twins, it would seem that the exposure to tobacco smoke was insufficient to result in greater morbidity. Cederlof and his associates (26, 17) in Sweden studied smoking in relation to morbidity from various causes among 12,889 pairs of twins. Replies to a mailed ques- tionnaire dealing with smoking habits and residential ,history were received from 10,947 pairs (85 percent). Replies to a second question- naire with medical questions were received from both members of 9,319 pairs-another response of about 85 percent. A subject, who answered "Yes" to the question, "DO you redarly have a cough?" was *regarded as having "cough." If, when asked, "For how many consecutive months a year do you have a cough?," the subject checked more than 3 months, he ww regarded as having "bronchitis." If the group comprising only one of each twin pair (the fi? twin on the twin registry) is considered as a random population, the as- sociation observed between smoking and respiratory symptoms is given in table 11.

(II). These findings are similar to those previously reported for various populations. These respiratory symptoms were then analyzed among twin pairs with discordant smoking habits, that is, one twin of the 102 pair never smoked and t.he other either had smoked or still smoked at the time of the survey. The findings are presented in table 12.

(17). This table shows that the prevalence of respiratory symptoms was much higher among the smokers in twin pairs than the nonsmokers. The authors concluded that this hypermorbidity "speaks in favor of a causal interpretation." In a further analysis of the data from monozygotic twin pairs with discordant smoking habits, Cederlof and his coworkers (15) divided the series into a "low risk group" in which the nonsmoking twin did not have "cough," and a "high risk group" in which .the non- smoking twin had "cough." The two groups of smoking co-twins corresponding to the two nonsmoking risk groups had higher than ex- pected prevalence rates. The observed value for smokers in the low risk group, however, was only half that expected for nonsmokers in the high risk group. This suggests that for some i7w%~~~& the genetic influence may be more important than smoking in the devel- opment of cough. But, because any high risk group is only a small part of the population, the total genetic effect will be much smaller than the effect of tobacco. Lundman (53) made a detailed study of twin pairs in Sweden. Of 247 twin pairs asked to participate, 196 pairs were examined (80 percent), of which 92 were monozygotic and 104 dizygotic. All par- ticipants were interviewed and examined without knowledge of their smoking habits. All twin pairs were concordant with respect to urban/ rural residence and discordant in smoking habits. After estimation of lifetime exposure to smoking, 30 pairs were considered concordant, thus limiting analysis to 77 monozygotic and 89 dizygotic pairs. The smokers in both groups of twins had significantly higher frequencies of some respiratory symptoms, such as persistent cough and morning phlegm, but not of other symptoms such as dyspnea, "day cough", and "day phlegm". Smokers also had "an increase in the unevenness of 211-394 o-07---8 103 ventilation measured by nitrogen washout, and an increase in aim-my resistance as measured by dynamic spirometry." Two recent studies (17,58) of populations of identical and fraternal twins show that for some individuals in the populations studied a genetic element appears to be of some importance for the development of cough. However, the effect of smoking was clearly shown to be much more important for most ofthe individuals in the total popula- tions studied. One study (53) also clearly showed that smoking twins more often had reduced ventilatory function tests as compared to their respective nonsmoking twins. These data provide strong confirmatory evidence that cigarette smoking can cause chronic bronchitis; however, no inferences with respect to pulmonary emphysema can be based on these data. Studies such as these, when specifically designed to provide additional in- formation about pulmonary function, may be helpful in evaluating the relationship between cigarette smoking and pulmonary emphysema. PATHOLOGY STUDIES Very few papers relating. the gross and microscopic appearance of the trachea, bronchi, and lung parenchyma to tobacco smoking have appeared in the last 3 years. Auerbach and his coworkers have con- tinued their analysis of bronchial tissues taken f&m 758 subjects (7) and lung parenchymal tissue taken from 1,340 men (8). They pub- lished a report (9) correlating findings in the bronchial ltree with findings in the lung parenchyma of 267 men who were included in both previous studies. They reported a high correlation between fibrosis in the lung parenchyma and different abnormalities of the bronchial epithelium, such as hyperactive glands, increased number of cell rows in the ciliated epithelium, and increased frequency of cells with atypical nuclei. As reported previously by and summarized in the Surgeon General's 1964 Report, more frequent and more severe ab- normalities were observed among cigarette smokers. Sections of the bronchial tree among ex-smokers were more like those of nonsmokers while fibrotic changes in the lung parenchyma were more like those observed among smokers. Changes in the bronchial tree similar to those described by Auer- bath and his coworkers were reported in a series of 100 random adult autopsies by Hernandez and Anderson and their associates (38). They reported a higher frequency of abnormal epithelial hyperplasia, goblet cell hyperplasia, round cell infiltration, congestion, and edema in 104 bronchi from smokers than nonsmokers. There was, however, no evi- dence of more bronchial gland hyperplasia. These same workers also studied macroscopic sections of single lungs from 211 routine autopsies on adults (I, 8). Analysis was limited to 165 of these cases on whom smoking histories were obtained, usually from relatives. Without knowing the identity of the subject or his smoking history, each lung section was classified on a sca.le from 0 to 6 by severity of emphysematous changes. The type of emphysema was also described as panlobular (changes throughout the secondary pul- monary lobules), centrilobular (changes located around the centers of the secondary lobules), or mixed. The severity of emphysematous changes was about the same for men and women, but for each sex, changes were more severe among smokers than nonsmokers, as seen in t.able 13.

E.. Jr., et al. (8. Perhaps more important was the observat.ion that the type of pa- thology seemed strongly related to smoking (9). Of 48 subjects whose lung macrosections were classified as having mainly centrilobular emphysema, 45 persons had been smokers. Ih contrast, the 62 subjects judged to have panlobular emphysema were divided in t.he expected proportions, 33 smokers and 24 nonsmokers. Petty and his associates (61) also studied postmortem Endings in the lungs of a series of 253 men over age 40, unselected for smoking, who died in two Denver hospitals during a 6-year period from 1959 to 1965. The presence and severity of emphysema was estimated and graded in four categories, from 0 to 3 + . During the last 3 years of t.he study bronchi of 179 men were examined for mucous gland hyper- plasia. Independent of the morphological studies, smoking histories were obtained for each person, apparently `by questioning relatives, although this is not clearly stated. Men were grouped according to the amount of cigarettes smoked during their lifet.imes by calculating pack-years of smoking. (One pack-year is the number of cigarettes smoked if a person smoked one pack per day for a year. A pack-year could also mean smoking two packs a day for 6 months, one-half pack a day for 2 years, or any equivalent amount.) 105 Of the group of 179 individuals, 54 had mucous gland hyperplasia. Of the 54 persons involved, 51 had smoked more than 20 pack-years, and the remaining three were essentially nonsmokers. In contrast, approximately one-third of the 125 men in whom mucous gland hyper- plasia was not found were essentially nonsmokers. When the total group of 253 men was studied for evidence of pulmonary emphysema, 114 were found to have moderate or severe pulmonary emphysema. Of the 114, 98 had smoked more than 20 pack-years. The other six, who essentially were nonsmokers, had either asthma, previous tuberculosis, deep-seated lung infections or other demonstrable relationships with previous pulmonary disease. In contrast, approximately one-third of the remaining 139 men, who had either very mild or no emphysema, were essentially nonsmokers. Only one study has been found in which the frequency of abnormal bronchial epithelial cells in living persons is compared with smoking history. Robbins (63) studied a group of 103 college students between the ages of 17 and 24. Of the 45 who had never smoked, atypical epithelial cells were found in six (13 percent). This compares to 26 (45 percent) of the 58 students who had been smoking 10 or more cigarettes daily for 1 to 8 years. Cytological examination was done without knowledge of whether the specimen came from a smoker or nonsmoker. ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS Results of two experimental studies relating smoke inhalation to lung parenchymal changes in dogs have been published in the last 3 years. Hernandez and his coworkers (39) used 23 healthy greyhounds retired from racing. Eight served as controls and 15 were exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke ,for 30-45 minutes twice daily in wooden inhalation chambers. Seven animals were exposed for ap- proximately 5 months and the remaining eight were sacrificed after almost 15 months of smoke inhalation. Disruption of the lung paren- chyma was assessed macroscopically by comparison with preselected standards graded in severity from 0 to 3. Assessment was made without knowledge of the source of the lung specimen. Lung damage among dogs that were exposed longer showed significantly greater disruption of the lung parenchyma. Auerbach and his associates (6,8) tracheostomized 10 adult .beagles and, in an attempt to approximate human smoking more closely, exposed them to cigarette smoke through the tracheostomy tube. Five dogs died during this experiment and the remaining five were sacrificed after approximately 14 months of exposure. Other beagles 106 mere kept as controls; two had tracheostomy openings. These control do@ were sacrificed at the time the last five smoking dogs were sacri- ficed. Lungs of the dogs exposed to cigarette smoke showed microscop- ic&y the presence of dilated air spaces, especially beneath the pleural surface. Here the alveolar septa showed a fibrous thickening of the \valls with areas of rupture and dilated air sacs. Padlike attachments to alveolar septa were found. These zones of connective tissue sur- rounding dilated air sacs were also visible macroscopically as white areas on the lung surface. There was no t.hickening of the walls of small arteries and arterioles within the lung. The lungs of the control dogs were normal in appearance with none of these changes. These :tbnormalities approximate `but are not fully concordant with some of the typical pathological tidings in human emphysema. This ex- periment does indicate that inhaled cigarette smoke apparently can damage the pulmonary parenchyma of dogs. Other findings (6) as yet unpublished, indicate t.hat abnormalities of the bronchial epi- thebum resulted that approximate many of lthe histopathologic flnd- ings of human chronic bronchitis. Rockey et al. (64) have noted that cigarette smoke produces bron- chial and parenchymal changes in dogs that approximate some of the histopathologic findings found in human smokers who have chronic bronchitis and/or pulmonary emphysema. Mouzakis (57) has noted similar changes in rabbits, and in dogs exposed to cigarette smoke through tracheostomies. Researchers carrying out pathological studies have consistently re- ported epithelial hyperplasia of the bronchial tree associated with smoking. They have also reported that fibrosis and emphysematous changes in the lung parenchyma, although observed among non- smokers, occur much more frequently among men and women who have histories of smoking. Changes in the lung parenchyma, approximating some of the changes noted in human emphysema, have also been pro duced experimentally in dogs by exposure to cigarette smoke. CILIATOXIC EFFECTS OF CIGARETTE SMOKE The toxic effect of tobacco smoke on the ciliary defense mechanism of the respiratory system has ,been confirmed by additional experi- mental studies (9, 10, 13, 93, 24, $36, $7, 46, 47, 77, 78) which seek to determine more exactly the mode of action of the ciliatoxic agents contained in tobacco smoke. As yet, hydrogen cyanide and acrolein appear to have the greateet ciliatoxic effects of the agents that have been identified in the gaseous phase of tobacco smoke, although for- 107 maldehyde, crotonaldehyde, formic acid, acetic acid, proprionic acid, and some phenols are also ciliatoxic (25, & 48, 73, 77, 79). Further information may be obtained from a special symposium on ciliary activity held in 1965 (48). A recent study ($22) suggests that oxidative enzymes such as adenoeine triphosphatase, apparently important to ciliary activity, may be adversely affected by cigarette smoke. Addi- tional research is necessary before precise conclusions can be stated concerning which, if any, of the identified ciliatoxic agents contained in tobacco smoke are most damaging to the human respiratory system. OTHER FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC BRON- CHITIS OR EMPHYSEMA OR BOTH It is not the purpose of this report to discuss all the factors that may play a role in the development of chronic bronchitis and em- physema. It is important, however, to recognize that these condi- tions do exist among people who do not smoke and that many smokers apparently escape all signs of aflliction. It is also important to recog- nize that other factors have been associated with the development of chronic respiratory disease, or chronic bronchitis and emphysema, as we have defined chronic respiratory disease. We must be concerned with the multiple etiology of .biological processes. One factor already cited is the role of hereditary or constitutional factors in the develop- ment of respiratory symptoms, either operating alone or in conjunc- tion with other factors such as smoking. Aside from the personal pulmonary pollution inherent in smok- ing, occupational exposures (a wider form of pollution) and exposure to various pollutants in the atmosphere have both been shown Ito influ- ence the prevalence of respiratory signs and symptoms. Studies made in some specific industries-for example, pulp mill workers in New England (S$?), coal miners in West Virginia (31), and gold miners in South Africa (66, 67)-ha ve shown an increased frequency of respiratory symptoms or of diminished pulmonary function among men exposed ito certain dusts and fumes. These studies indicate that cigarette smoking is generally more important than the occupational exposures in producing respiratory disease in the workers. These studies also suggest that cigarette smok- ing may interact with some occupational exposures to produce even greater deleterious effects. Cigarette smokers outnumber by far the workers subjected to unusual environmental exposures. Also, there has been a general improvement in many occupational environments, in the continuing effort to remove or reduce the exposure to specific indus- t,rial air pollutants. 108 Climatic and meteorologic variations involved with differences in quantity and quality of specific air pollutants make investigations of atmospheric pollution very complex. There have been many studies, however, attempting to examine the association of air pollution with chronic respiratory disease. Often comparisons of mortality and mor- bidity are made between urban and rural areas, assuming a difference in air pollution but not measuring it directly. Wicken (75) in his retrospective study of mortality from chronic bronchitis in Northern Ireland found higher mortality rates with greater degrees of urbaniza- tion. Air pollution was suggested as a factor. Holland and Reid (43) compared the prevalence of respiratory symptoms, sputum production, and lung fun&ion in London and in three county towns. The London men had more and severer symptoms, produced more sputum and had poorer lung function test results. Smoking habits were shown to be closely related to respiratory dii- turbance but urban-rural differences in these habits could not explain the greater frequency of respiratory symptoms in London. A Canadian study reported by Bates et al. (11) indicates that among four cities studied, the city with the lowest amount of industrial dust- fall and sulfur dioxide levels had the study group wit.h the lowest prevalence of chronic bronchitis. Preliminary results also indicate that this group had the lowest decline of pulmonary function. The groups of males in each city were approximately concordant for other factors, including the influence of cigarette smoking. Ferris and associates (3, 4, 33) studied air pollution and its effect on respiratory symptoms and functions in two separate towns-chilli- wack, British Columbia, and Berlin, N.H. After standardizing the data for age and cigarette smoking, they observed a correlation be- tween symptoms of chronic bronchitis and the level of air pollution as measured by the mean sulfation rate. They also found pulmonary function tests to be better in Chilliwack when controlled for smoking habits and age. This may be .associated with the lower level of air pol- lution in Chilliwack. Studies of populations of twins are especially valuable in assessing the influences of constitutional factors and environmental considera- tions, such as cigarette smoking and air pollution. Cederlof (14)) using interview techniques on a large population of twins in Sweden, found that compared with smoking, air pollution was of secondary im- portance in causing respiratory symptoms indicative of chronic bron- chitis and/or emphysema. In both the monozygotic and dixygotic twins, again using the co-twin control method, individual variations suggested that the propensity to develop cough from smoking also may well be pertinent with regard to air pollution but that, when considering the total population, individual variations appear to be of minor influence (15). 109 Other studies (55,76) have suggested a relation between air pollu- tion and symptoms or mortality from chronic respiratory disease, although they were not controlled for differences in cigarette smoking. The contributions of air pollution, industrial pollution, and personal pollution have been summarized recently by Higgins (~$0). He con- cluded, as we must from the available evidence, that all "* * * three types of pollution are associated with increased amounts of respiratory disease and respiratory disability. " All the recent evidence, however, does not alter the conclusion in the Surgeon General's 1964 Report that "the dominant association in the United States is between cigarette smoking and chronic respiratory disease." ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING SMOKING AND EBXPEYSEMA This crucial question must be answered affirmatively before an infer- ence can be made that smoking directly causes pulmonary emphysema : Does inhaled tobacco smoke have a direct toxic effect on the alveolar tissue in the lung parenchyma which is important in the pathogenesis of pulmonary emphysema? At present, it cannot Abe answered. If future evidence supports such a finding of a direct toxic effect, we will have the missing link to the present chain of evidence showing a strong association between cigarette smoking and many cases of pulmonary emphysema and an inference of oausation may validly be made. The available evidence that follows has only indirect pertinence to the question. The experiments of the Auerbach, Hernandez, and Rockey groups support the thesis that there is a direct toxic effect of cigarette smoke on the pulmonary tissue. Possibly this direct toxic effect, if proven to exist, contributes to the rupture and fibrosis of the alveolar tissue. However, in these animal studies there were also some differences from the typical anatomic findings of human pulmonary emphysema. Surfactant, a fluid substance lining the alveolar cell walls, appar- ently is important for maintaining tissue surface tension and thus the spatial configuration of the alveolar walls (65). Zn vitro abnormalities have been noted in surfactant as a result of cigarette smoke (B, 74). Alveolar macrophages (specialized cells that incorporate and remove foreign material from the affected lung area) are reportedly damaged in vitro by cigarette smoke (35). Abnormalities of the alveolar macro- phages and lipophages with inhalation of cigarette smoke are also reported (54) in cytological studies of human bronchial washings, apparently reflecting damage in viva. Studies (@,50,51,63) of the pulmonary function of relatively young smokersand nonsmokers also indicate that abnormalities of pulmonary diffusion noted in cigarette smokers, may, in part, be related to a direct toxic effect of cigarette smoke. However, some of these abnormal- ities are related to the unevenness of pulmonary ventilation associated 110 with airway abnormalities. Damage to the pulmonary arterial capil- laries has frequently been noted on autopsy examination of smokers. This damage may be a direct effect'of smoke inhalation and, function- ally, may impair the vascular perfusion of the alveolar tissue, thus leading to further deficiencies in alveolar tissue function. The possibility must also be considered that the accelerated in vitro thromhus formation (discussed in the cardiovascular chapter of this report), associated with cigarette smoking, may be the basis for mul- tiple small thromboses in the pulmonary arterial capillaries. Additional research is also needed to answer questions concerning other factors that may account for the apparent increased suscepti- bility of some individuals to cigarette smoke, such that they have a marked excess mortality from this disease. Genetic and constitutional factors may be important to some individuals' development of pulmo- JJaq emphysema, just as these factors appear to be important in the development of cough in smokers, as reported by Cederlof and his associates (1.4, 15,16, 17). An increased susceptibility of some indi- viduals to the emphysema associated with cigarette smoking has been suggested, but not proved, by the occasional reports of "familial" emphysema (42, 529. Other probable causes of pulmonary emphysema, such as allergic or infectious disease processes, alsoshould be investigated for interactions with and without smoking. Other apparent causes of pulmonary emphysema, such as possibly atmospheric air pollution, may be inter- `acting with cigarette smoking to produce effects even more deleterious to human health. The observation that other probable causes of pulmonary emphy- sema may exist should not detract from the strong relationship that has been shown to exist between cigarette smoking and pulmonary emphysema. Further investigations of the mechanisms of injury to the cellular and subcellular structures of the lung tissue are recommended (34). Also, clarification of diaguosti'c nomenclature and criteria would be helpful, as indicated in the earlier discussion of definitions in this chapter.

W. Cook (m) has been widely accepted by tobacco chemists. The Surgeon General's 1964 Report and Cook's paper are in agree- ment with respect to the presence of benzo(a)pyrene (3 : 4benzopy- rene) , dibenz (a,h) -anthracene (12 : 5,6-dibenzanthrac) : benzo(c) phenanthrene (3 : 4benzophenanthrene), and dibenzo ( a,i) pyrene (3,4 : 9,10-dibenzopyrene) , all having carcinogenic activity. Cook considers, furthermore, as identified : Benz (a) anthracene (1,2- benzanthracene) marginal carcinogenic activity; chrysene, benzo(e) pyrene (1,2benzopyrene), questionable carcinogenic activity ; benzo (g,h,i) perylene (1,12benzoperylene) )2 benzo( b) fluoranthene (3,4- benzofluoranthene) carcinogenic (69,106)) and benzo (j) fluoranthene (10,ll~benzofluoranthene) carcinogenic (206). Indeno (l&3-cd) pyrene (2,3-phenylenepyrene) has since been iso- lated from tobacco smoke (@). This polynuclear aromatic hydrocar- bon was found to be carcinogenic (44,59). The following carcinogens, or questionable carcinogens, were isolated by Kiryu and Kuratsune (55) in the smoke of cigarettes smoked by human volunteers: benz (a) anthracene, chrysene, benzo (a) pyrene, benzo (e) pyrene, benzo (b) fluoranthene and benzo (k) fluoranthene. The carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are regarded as the major initiating car- cinogens in tobacco smoke. N-Eeterocyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons The Surgeon General's 1964 Report lists as carcinogenic compounds three N-heterocyclics, dibenz ( a, j ) acridine, dibenz (a,h) acridine and 7 H-dibenzo- (c,g) carbazole. An independent investigation has con- firmed the presence of the first named compound in cigarette smoke WV * N-Nitrosa7nims N-nitrosamines are among the most powerful known animal car- cinogens. Since tobacco smoke contains secondary amines (67, 71) `Dibenzo (a,h)anthracene in the Surgeon General's lQ@ Report should be replaced by dibenz (a,h ) anthracene (Ed). * Benzo(g,h,i)perylene was not tested for carcinogenicity until 1966 and then was found to & inactive (4). and most tobaccos, certainly Burley and Maryland varieties, contain nitrates (64)) tobacco smoke can be considered as a potential environ- ment for the formation of N-nitrosamines. The major nitrates in tobacco are alkaline nitrates. Neurath, et al., isolated three aliphatic N-nitrosamines from the smoke of a cigarette rich in volatile basic components and high in nitrate content. One of them tentatively has been identified as methy- n-butyl-nitrosamine (73). When the particulate matter, "tar," was collected from cigarettes not enriched with basic components or when the smoke particulate matter was collected without aging and not in cold traps, N-nitros- amines could not be isolated from cigarette smoke (79). Since the only other publication concerned with the isolation of nitrosamines in cigarette smoke was based on cold trap collection of "tar," the positive finding of three N-nitrosamines appears questionable (86). In summary, tobacco smoke can be regarded as a potential environ- ment for the formation of N-nitrosamines. However, additional infor- mation is needed to substantiate their presence in tobacco smoke. Pozonium 910 Several investigators (33,35,50,76,99,93,1&?) have found trace amounts of Po210 in tobacco leaf and cigarette smoke. The concentra- tion of Po210 in lung tissue is relatively high (33, 67) as compared to other body tissues and is higher in smokers than in nonsmokers (33, 48 64 66). Lung tumors have been induced experimentally by intratracheal implantation of various radioactive substances. These radioactive sub- stances must, however, be present in the respiratory environment above a certain threshold level and must be in contact with the target organ long enough rto be effective (68,77,88,107). Because Poz'O emits alpha particles, it has been implicated as a lung cancer initiator (@,68,76, 77). More research is needed before definitive conclusions can be made. Until such time, however, PO *lo should be considered as a potential tumor initiator in tobacco smoke. Selenium Selenium has been mentioned as possibly being important in the pathogenesis of human lung cancer (100). Preliminary reports suggest that selenium may be present in some cigarette papers. Because earlier reports (17,34,97) indicated the ingestion of selenium caused cancer of the liver in mice, a recent investigation (101) by the National Can- cer Institute was conduoted, with negative results. So far the earlier reports of the carcinogenicity of selenium have not been substantiated. Additional information is needed on the possible carcinogenicity of selenium and its presence in cigarette smoke before selenium can be indicted as an agent in human cancer. 128 phenols Tobacco smoke contains a large number of phenols (107). Several of `them are known to be tumor promoting agents when applied in high concentrations to mouse skin previously treated with a tumor initiator (14). IN VITRO CELLWLAR CHANGES BY TOBACCO SMOKE Lasnitzki (60) extended her studies with tobacco smoke condensate on cultured human fetal lung tissue to include a "highly purified fraction of hydrocarbons" isolated from cigarette smoke condensate. In 33 out of 50 treated lung tissue explants, the epithelium of the bronchi was hyperplastic and sometimes showed squamous changes. These changes were not observed wit.h the untreated controls. Mthough a hydrocarbon-free fraction was weakly active by producing some squamous metaplasia in these explants, these tissue culture tests point strongly to carcinogenic hydrocarbons as the active group in the smoke. The findings with purified carcinogenic hydrocarbons in organ culture (91) support the finding that polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are one group of active smoke constituents. Carcinogenic hydrocarbons are also the only group of chemical components that have been demonstrated in vitro to induce malignant conversion of single cells (7,13). In summary, tobacco smoke has been demonstrated in vitro to induce pathological changes in tissue explants. Although such changes may be induced by different smoke constituents, as yet the carcinogenic hydrocarbons are the only agents identified in tobacco smoke which have been shown to induce malignant changes in" tissue cultures. IN Vrvo TUXOR FORMATION BY TOBACCO SMOKE Passive inhalation experiments with tobacco smoke have not yet led to fully established squamous carcinoma in mice (109). This method of application has resulted only in papillomatous growth in the tracheobronchial mucosa of a few hamsters. None of the tumors, however, was found to be invasive (30,121). It appears that passive inhalation may not lead to the induction of scpmmous cell bronchogenic cancer in experimental animals. This conclusion can also be applied to passive inhalation studies in which t.he animals are infected by a virus before long-term smoke exposure (62, 110). The pathological changes seen in the mice were reversible whether or not the animals lvere previously infected with a virus. The hyperplasia and metaplasia seen in mice and rats after passive inhalation appears, at least in part, to be secondary to viral or bacterial infection that is enhanced by exposure to tobacco smoke. The relatively negative findings with pas- 129 sive inhalation experiments probably relate to the relatively small amounts of smoke aerosols that bypass the nasal passages. The defen- sive nature of the upper respiratory tract against airborne irritanti has to be fully appreciated in the evaluation of any passive inhalation study. Active inhalation studies with tracheostomized dogs, as carried out by Rockey, (79,230) and Auerbach ($) , suggest that this approach may lead to the induction of bronchogenic carcinoma. The change in the bronchial epithelium after 1 year of active smoking indicates early pathological changes t.hat may, upon continued smoke exposure, lead to tumors in the bronchi. So far, neither passive nor active inhalation studies have contributed to our knowledge about the nature of the tobacco smoke carcinogens, Studies with the particulate matter, tar, of cigarette, pipe, and cigar smoke, however, have clearly demonstrated that at &he site of applica- tion tumors can be induced. Tumors have been induced on the skin of mice and rabbits, the ears of rabbits, the subcutaneous tissue and hilum of rats and the cervices of mice (.9,21,9& 92, M, 46,.& 61,74, 82?,8t9,84,107,108). Only relatively few investigators have been concerned with the nature of chemical carcinogens in tobacco smoke (47, 84, 107). Al- though t,he acidic and nicotine-free basic portions of tobacco tar had been found to have weak tumorigenic activity, the only fraction shown to have induced significant numbers of tumors is fraction B of the neutral portion (2 percent of the whole condensate) (I#`). This B fraction was further fractionated into three subfractions from which only B, was shown to have tumorigenic activity (47). The B, frac- tion equals 0.6 percent of the tar and combines all aromatic hydro- carbons with three to seven rings including the carcinogenic ones. This can be considered as evidence that in in zri~u studies, the poly- nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are the major carcinogens in tobacco smoke. Although these compounds alone can account for only a small portion of the tumorigenic activity of tobacco tar, they are, neverthe- less, the only identified carcinogens and tumor initiators in tobacco smoke shown by experimentation to be biologically active. Their tumorigenic effect is enhanced by the presence of tumor-promoting agents in &he smoke. TUMOR -I?FUXK~~NG AGENTS IN TOBACCO PRODUCIS In the experimental setting, the tumorigenicity of tobacco smoke condensate cannot be solely explained by the presence of known car- cinogens. In assays on mouse skin and rat subcutaneous tissue, the known carcinogens must be enhanced by other components such IIQ: tumor-promoting agents. In fact, it has been demonst.rated that to- 130 bacco extract and tobacco smoke condensate can act as promoters to mouse skin previously treated with tumor-initiating carcinogenic 1,olycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (10, 19, 96, 107). Although some tumor-promoting activity of tobacco "tar" can be explained by some phenols and carboxylic acids, additional tumor promoters in tobacco products remain to be isolated and identified. It is important, however, that a significant decrease of the poly- nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in tobacco "tar" leads to a significant decrease of t.he overall activity of the %ar" on mouse skin (9,&?, 168, 109). In summary, experimental studies have demonstrated that the par- ticulate matter of tobacco smoke, "tar:' is tumorigenic. Some poly- nuclear aromatic hydrocarbon-carcinogens have been identified as con- tributing significantly to the overall tumorigenic activity of tobacco smoke condensates in the experimental setting. LUNG CANCER MORTALITY DATA ' The annual number of deaths in the United States from cancer of the lung (International Classification of Diseases, Codes 162,163) rose from 18,313 deaths in 1950 to 45,338 in 1964 ($4). In this 15-year period, deaths from lung cancer totaled 467,442. During this same time. period the death rate for cancer of the lung almost doubled, a rise from 12.2 deaths per 100,000 population in 1950 to 24 deaths per 100,000 population in 1964. (The corresponding age-adjusted rate has also nearly doubled, therefore the increase in the death rate cannot be attributed to the changing age composition of the population.) The lung cancer mortality in the male population increased from 19.9 deaths per 100,000 population in 1950 to 41.4 in 1964, while in the female population the deaths increased from 4.5 to 7.1 per 100,000 population over the same time period. The mortality experience of the individual male cohorts during 1949-64 (fig. 1) shows that at any given age the risk of dying from lung cancer was almost always higher for the more recently born cohort. Within each cohort, the death rate for lung cancer increased steadily to the end of the life span. Figure 2 shows the death rate for women by cohort groups and age at death. One can see the increasing death rate slope for each more recently-born cohort, starting with cohort F-those women who were 26-30 years old in 1930. This corresponds to the time when smoking became increasingly popular among women. `AU death rates throughout this chapter are per 100,000 population unless otherwise indicated. 131 / fir, ID 0.9 - a* - 0.4 - 03 //, , , , , , 90 9* 90 99 40 49 90 99 90 A ..- 0.9 0.9 04 I I I I I a3 99 10 79 .O 99."4 a.&.

In the female population the greatest percentage increase-(116 per- cent) over the 15-year period, 1949-64, occurred in the 35-44 year age group. The next highest percentage increase was noted in the age group 45-54 years. The death rate from lung cancer among women, 25 years and over, rose steadily with advance in age for each year during 195&64, and the cohort experience shows that these death rates continued to increase for each cohort to the end of the life span Hammond's (4.0) prospective study provides extensive information about the lung cancer mortality experience of both men and women in relation to cigarette-smoking history as presented by mortality ratio * and by death rates per 100,000 person-years.

Tables 2 and 3 below show the relationships of number of cigarettes smoked per day, degree of inhalation, and age smoking began, to lung cancer mortality ratios and death rates for males and females, respectively. Generally, mortality ratios and death rates increase with increasing amount of cigarettes smoked and degree of inhalation, and with a longer lifetime history of smoking. Table 3 shows the relatively lower lung cancer mortality among women as contrasted to men, but reveals, for the most part, the same relationship to amount smoked, degree of inhalation, and age when smoking began. Table 4 illustrates the fact that cessation of cigarette smoking is associated with a decline in lung cancer death rates. o The mortal&y ratio is the ratio of the death rate of smokers to that af non- smokers-the mortality mtb of nonsmokers always being one, by definition. 134 TABLE 2.-Lung cancer (men).

There is rather close agreement among the three large prospec- tive studies for the general range of mortality ratios observed in heavy smokers. From the data supplied by the Doll and Hill survey of British physicians (98, f29) a mortality ratio of 31.86 can be calcu- lated for all smokers of more than 25 cigarettes per day, as com- pared to a mortality ratio of approximately 8, for smokers of 1-14 cigarettes per day (sea table 8). There is relatively little risk of lung cancer associated with pipe or cigar smoking, probably ,&cause smoke from these sources is rarely inhaled. "Mixed smokers," i.e., smokers of cigarettes, pipes, and/or cigars, have less risk than do smokers of cigarettes only, also suggest- ing that they may smoke fewer cigarettes or inhale less tobacco smoke than do smokers of cigarettes only (see tables 7 and 8). 138 TABLE 7.-Lung cancer mod&y ratios by type and amount smokea? ~~~iwx: U.S. veterans study [app. table A W)l.

TABLE 9.- Lung cancer death raks for ez-smokers of c&are&a by length of time stopped smoking somcs: Study of British Physicfans [table 25 C?41. The preceding studies show appreciably lower mortality ratios and death rates from lung canCer with the cessation of cigarette smoking (see tables 4,5,6,7,8,9). This lower risk is evident irrespective of the quantity of cigarettes formerly smoked. The Doll and Hill study (a) of British physicians is of particular interest in respect to ex-smokers. Over the M-year period of the study (1951-61) 29 percent of the smokers of cigarettes only, had signifi- cantly decreased (one-half pack cigarettes or more) their smoking (in- cluding those who stopped) and 5 percent had switched to pipes and/or cigars. While the overall lung cancer mortality of men over age 25 in England and Wales had increased 22 percent over this lo-year period, that for the physician group decreased 7 percent. Since the total physician group is involved in these figures, we can compare this population group to the entire population of England and Wales where there was no general decrease in amount of smoking. This can be thought of as a controlled cessation experiment and the beneficial effects of stopping or decreasing the amount of smoking become quih evident. Wicken (A&?), in a retrospective study of lung cancer mortality in Northern Ireland during the period 1960-62, reported the following results (Table 10) : TABLE IO.-Lung cancer mortality ratios a?w! de&h rate.9; by sea?, age 86 and over, by type and amount of smoking, N&m Irelund, 1860-M NOD smokers "s:z l-10 ll-!a !a+ --- Male: Mortality ratios- _ _ __ _ __ Death ratea ____________ Female: Mortality rat&- _ __ ___ _ Death ratea ____________ 1.00 4.83 9.33 21.2 18 87 168 383 1.00 2 27 6. 72 19. 0 11 25 74 210 ~OUBCE: Wiekeu, A.

Thus, the difference percent-may be attributable to the urban or suburban residence factor, possibly air pollution. If no females smoked, they would have had only 65 percent of the total female lung cancer mortality, and 53 percent if they lived in truly rural areas. Thus, for females, the difference of 12 percentage points might be attributed to the urban environment. The magnitude of these differ- ences depends on the prevalence of lung cancer in the various sub- groups of the particular population studied. HISTOPATHOLOGY OF LUNG TUHO~ Classification of lung cancer by histologic type was discussed in the Surgeon General's 1964 Report with the conclusion that the squamous, undifferentiated, and oat-cell carcinomas were far more frequently found in smokers than in nonsmokers, while adenocarcinoma was rela- tively more frequent in nonsmokers, especially women. Changes in the bronchial mucosa resulting from the inhalation of cigarette smoke in- cluded loss of cilia, basal cell hyperplasia, and the appearance of atypical cells with irregular hyperchromatic nuclei. These changes, it was concluded, were related to the premalignant process of the de- 140 velopment of invasive carcinoma. Auerbach (6) has more recently reported on a study of the pathology of the trabheobronchia] trees of 339 men who died from causes other than lung cancer and of 63 men who died from lung cancer. Up to 55 cross-sections of the tracheo- bronchial tissue were studied in each case. The 339 non-lung cancer cases included 65 men who had never smoked cigarettes and 274 men jvho had smoked in various amount. Figure 3 shows that only 1.3 percent of the slides from those who never smoked regularly have 60 percent or more atypical cells, whereas 76 percent of the slides of those smoking more than two packs a day had 60 percent or more atypical cells.

The Doll and Hill study reported their data in terms of cancer of the larynx or trachea (see tables 14 and 15) for relationships with type and amounts of tobacco smoking. The Canadian study did not provide separate data on cancer of the larynx. No additional information has become available, since the Surgeon General's 1964 Report, relating the several forms of smok- ing, i.e., cigarettes, cigars, and/or pipes, to specific laryngeal cancer sites (intrinsic versus extrinsic larynx). The study previously referred to (69) which analyzed the develop- ment of second sites of cancer after cure of a. primary oral cancer, reports that of 37 smokers who stopped smoking, none developed cancer of the larynx but that four of 65 continuing smokers developed cancer of the larynx. Although small numbers arB involved, beneficial aspects of smoking cessation are suggested. Additional epidemiological evidence supports the previous con- clusion that cigarette smoking is a significant factor in the causation of cancer of the larynx. CANCER OF THE ESOPHAGUS The Surgeon General's 1964 Report concluded: "The evidence on the tobacco-esophageal cancer relationship supports the belief that an association exists." However, the Committee at that time noted that there was not adequate data on which to base a decision as to whether the relationship was causal. The National Center for Health Statistics (94) reports that from 149 1950 to 1964 the mortality from cancer of the esophagus rose about 8 percent in the male population and 9 percent in the female popula- tion. In 1964, males had a death rate for esophageal cancer that was 3.7 times higher than the female rate. The greatest relative increases were in the age groups under `65 years, especially the age group 3544 years. MORTALITY DATA FROX THE LARGE PR~SPECI~VE STUB=: The Ham- mond (40) study reports the following death rates and mortality ratios for males in the age groups 45-64 and 65-79 who have a history of smoking regularly: TABLE 18.--E8opha@z.l cancer nwrta.ltiy rat& and deau ratm for mule Cigar@ 8??der8, by Sp&fi age grvup8 I b@- I see 66-n Mortalityratios------ _______ -_-_--_-- __________ 4. 17 1.74 Deathrates------------------------------------ 1 (1) 4 ' (4) 7 1 Nombem in parentheses IndIe& death rates of penrom who have never smoked -3'.

The Canadian veterans study did not give separate information about deaths from esophageal cancer. Autopsy studies of smokers as compared with nonsmokers, spe- cifically observing the pathological changes in esophageal tissue, have been performed by Auerbach (3). A microscopic study was made of 12,598 sections of esophageal autopsy tissue from 1,268 men, who died from causes other than esophageal cancer. The smoking histories were recorded ,but not known to the person examining the slides. The find- ings were strikingly similar to the abnormalities generally accepted as 150 representing premalignant tissue changes in the respiratory t&t cpithelium. Esophageal epithelial cells with atypical nuclei were found far more frequently in cigarette smokers than in nonsmokers. The Mm "atypical nuclei" describes nuclei with an irregular distribution of chromatin. Other abnormal changes including giant nuclei may also be present. Basal cell hyperplasia and hyperactive glands also were found more frequently in cigarette smokers than in nonsmok8rs. An in- crease in frequency with amount of cigarette smoking was noted for both epithelial cells with atypical nuclei and basal cell hyperplasia. Atypical nuclei in epithelial cells were also more frequently found in ex-cigaretts smokers as compared to nonsmokers. Tables 20 and 21 illustrate the frequency of these Cndiigs: TABLE 20.-Atypical nuclei in basal ce& of qithelium of esophugw of mda, by smoking habits and q Atypical nucld A. *I& YUN Number men- _ _____________.
